two questions:

1.) is it possible to use a 24 volt alternator to charge 2 12 volt batteries
in series and then just use 2 12 volt and 1 24 volt buses in the plane?
seems like this could give you the best of both worlds. anyone done this?
anyone willing to send in the wiring on how it is done?

2.)  I went up to see Dick Mitchell's 320 in park city. fantastic work(7000+
hours!!) and he had put capacitors on all of his solenoids. he could not
remember the size. has anyone else done this, and do you know the size of
the capacitor? does it extend the life of the units?


thanks,
